Pentax vision
I love Pentax's commitment to their origin's and principles. I for one do not wish them to produce a mirrorless camera, there are plenty of other manufacturers out there for cameras like that. I have tried a few, Sony NEX 6, Olympus E520, Olympus OMD EM10II, Fuji X30 and Fuji XS-1 but I have come ba...

Manual Focus
When using a manual only Pentax lens (e.g. K or M), there seems to be no difference in the way the camera works whether the focus switch is set to MF or AF. So, apologies if these are daft questions, but is there anything wrong with leaving the setting on AF, and/or is there any advantage in switch...

Manual Focus
Some new electronic lenses like the DFA* f2.8 70-200 can be switched between auto and manual focus so manual can be used without using the on-camera switch, and some lenses focused by the screw drive can be overridden manually just by rotating the focus ring. I would guess then that a manual only le...

Manual Focus
It used to be that using AF on MF lenses would activate trip focus (the shutter would fire only when the AF module thought the image was in focus). No idea if that's still the case, but it was handy for macro in particular - could just rock back and forwards through point of focus with the shutter ...

Manual Focus
If you leave it on AF with a manual lens, sometimes the tiniest movement backwards or forwards will stop the shutter button from operating since it will only fire when the green hexagon is lit. YOU can't tell the difference but the camera can. If you have it on AF and accidentally try to manually fo...

Manual Focus
Adding to what David has said : You can change a setting in camera menu from Focus Priority (default) to Release Priority. The latter setting will allow the shutter to fire irrespective as to whether the camera has achieved AF Lock or not. While this setting is aimed at autofocus lens usage, ...

J Limited
Perhaps J really is the name of the new camera. They've worked backwards through K7, K5, K3, K1. No more numbers left so work back through the alphabet? :wink: Steve

FULL FRAME OR APS-C
Hi Anstonian I had the same dilemma as you, I had a K-3, a K-5iis and then recently bought a KP and sold the K-5iis. However, I need several cameras as I will be running photography tuition and walks in Corfu this year and will need to loan out equipment. So, I also bought a K-1 a month or so b...

FULL FRAME OR APS-C
I wonder why anyone would not move to full frame if thinking of upgrading. Do you print ? If printing at a size of 24"x16" or larger the 36MP sensor has distinct advantages. If you have a large collection of FF older lenses it is nice to use them on a format for which they were intended, otherw...

FULL FRAME OR APS-C
It really depends on what you want. The K1 will give you better image quality, a bigger VF and the originally-intended field of view of older lenses. You pay for that in size, weight and burst rate plus size, weight and cost of lenses to go with it. Personally, I love my K-3 and would love to g...

I had a flucard. I put it in my K3ii and stupidly connected it to my desktop computer. It took a lot of sweating and cursing to regain control of it. It's an abomination of a thing! The one with the K1 does use image synch and works reasonably well with my Samsung mobile. It's very crude however in ...

We are slightly off topic here with the Image Synch app but I am a bit confused by your remote focusing issue, using an iPad I can touch anywhere on the screen and the camera will focus there. Rob - I think the issue here is the speed of focus with a Flucard, it is a bit slow. OK for static subjects...

focus point selection
On the KP there is a f button "AF Mode" just above the AF/Manual focus switch. You press this and turn the rear dial to your choice and turning the front dial gives multiple choices that I haven't explored yet, even selecting your own point. I have only had the kp over a year LOL and still haven't m...
